Long established wine society booked us for a tasting on Tuesday 8th April. This was held at Bath University and was attended by about 20 members.
The tasting, consisting of nine wines, started with the sparking Ceravolo Brut Cuvee and two of the wines were tasted 'blind'. The star of the evening was the rich Pic St Loup, T'Em T'Em, from the rising star, Fabien Reboul of Chateau Valflaunes.
One of the wines shown blind was the Sancerre Rose 2007 from Paul Prieur. This proved very difficult to guess due to the amazingly expressive floral fruit (pinot noir) on the nose and palate.
Wines of interest were the white Bandol from Alain Pascal (see posting below), white Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine Cote de l'Ange and the biodynamically produced Cotes-du-Rhone from Daniel Boulle at Domaine les Aphillanthes.
